I have been bested by your clever yet insightful perspective. Well done.

Whose white in this conflict? Both groups are from the Mediterranean (most of the jews living in Israel do not come from Russia and Poland but from other Mediterranean countries). How can Israel be a colonialist when Palestine is an independent entity. Israel has no say in how Palestine is governed, Hamas was elected by the people. Not sure what definition of genocide you are using but the standard one does not fit. Israel is targeting Hamas. While they show a callous disregard for civilian deaths, if Hamas were not usiythu civilian population as human shields the death toll would be dramatically smaller.

You are right, that was an atrocity. And the acknowledged the horrific mistake. But that does not justify Hamas’ willfully sacrificing the Palestinian civilians to foment moral outrage.

Better or worse than repurposed stock images or stolen copyrighted material?

There is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, “Aren’t you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?” The older monk replies without breaking his stride, “I put her down hours ago.”

I don’t know if it’s the greatest, but Ice Pirates is too often overlooked.

I thoroughly enjoyed an Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon. It’s an interesting take on the generation ship theme.
